VERSE:
 E   A
Well I asked her why she cried
       E
What she was doing with her life
     F#m
She said “I could marry a sailor
       D        E
I think that I'd make a good wife
       A
But he would leave for months at sea
         E
Leaving only the baby and me
   F#m                   D E
And I do not think that I could stay faithful"


BREAK:
       Bm
And I could leave the sound for good
          F#m
Bringing only some photos and a book
     D                 E Eadd9 E
But I'm pretty sure my legs would grow weary
     Bm
Then she asked how bout me
       F#m
I said “well darling let me see
    D                   E Eadd9 E
I hear wedding bells and see kisses from lovers



VERSE:
    A
Those lovers or so it seems
     E
They appear to be you and me
    F#m                   D E
But I could be wrong cause my mind's awful lazy



VERSE:
       A
And now I'm seeing something else
     E
And it's me I'm by myself
    F#m                  D E
And I appear to be older and I'm awful lonely


BREAK:
     Bm
And as I cry I ask God why
       F#m
How could you let my poor wife die?”
    D
And I told her not to cry
  E
To wipe her eyes


INSTRUMENTAL: D A  D A  Bm C#m D E


CHORUS:
     A
Well if love is all you have
      E
Well then baby that's not bad
    F#m
And if love is all you got
        D      E
Then that's a hell of a lot


CHORUS:
     A
Well if love is all you have
      E
Well then baby that's not bad
    F#m
And if love is all you got
        D      E
Then that's a hell of a lot


CHORUS:
     A
Well if love is all you have
      E
Well then baby that's not bad
    F#m
And if love is all you got
        D      E
Then that's a hell of a lot


CHORUS:
     A
Well if love is all you have
      E
Well then baby that's not bad
    F#m
And if love is all you got
        D       E
Then that's a hell of a lot


CHORUS:

Well if love is all you have
      E
Well then baby that's not bad
    F#m
And if love is all you got
        D
Then that's a hell of a lot
 E     A
Hell of a lot
